Ingredients
Gather the following ingredients to create this satisfying meal:
- 2 lbs ham, cubed
- 4 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
- 4 large potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Cube the ham, trim the ends of the green beans, dice the potatoes, and finely chop the onion and garlic.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. This step helps to enhance the flavors of the dish.
3. Layer the Crockpot
Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic to the crockpot. Layer the cubed ham, trimmed green beans, and diced potatoes on top.
4. Season the Ingredients
Season the layered ingredients with dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste. These aromatic herbs add depth of flavor and aroma to the dish.
5. Add Chicken Broth
Pour chicken broth over the ingredients in the crockpot. The broth will provide moisture and help infuse the flavors into the ham, green beans, and potatoes as they cook.
6. Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. Allow the ingredients to simmer and meld together until the ham is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Once the cooking time is complete, remove the lid from the crockpot and marvel at the savory aroma that fills the air. Serve the Crockpot Ham, Green Beans, and Potatoes hot, straight from the crockpot, and savor the comforting flavors of this simple yet satisfying meal.
